• Notes

  On last Wednesday James Travis of South Stanford, was kicked in the abdomen by a mule bursting a small intestine. He was taken to the sanitarium at Olney and operated on but the injury proved fatal and after much suffering the young man passed away Monday morning. The deceased was held in high esteem in his community. He leaves a wife and two small children, his parents and other relatives to mourn his untimely death. Funeral services were held from the family home Wednesday afternoon and interment made in the Kneff cemetery. The bereaved ones have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. (The Flora Record, Apr 8, 1920)
